with the surgeon of the regiments recently, a

said the surgeon in places where food is scarce

acting rapid waste of the tissues. There is
more dangerous internal waste than that caused
by fatigue. inasmuch as the vitality is too low
to throw it off, and thus all the living stuff
in the body is poisoned by what is dead. /

violent poisoning before now. simply because
they had walked more than their strength would

the opportunity, made dash at the female
quail, caughtit and was taking it prisoner his

The cry and noise made by the struggle of the
bird was noticed by the male. who cams

male bird made vicious attack the cat,
pecking with the beak and striking with the
wings until ne forced the cat surrender and

cat with evident signs of pleasure and satisfac-

My Lost Love.

Twas morn beside the summer sea;
My love and l. how blithe were wei
The salt sea wind sang bold and free
Before the gates of day.
Our pulses throbbed with bliss divine
To rainbow span the brine
With tender tints as If in sign
Our Joy would live for aye.
O first love, o fair love-
Beside the summer sea.
As coos the newly mated dove
You sang your love to mel
TITS night beside the summer sea;
Amid the nights pale mystery
My fair lost love comes back to me
AS in the olden time.
Her smile is softer than the mist,
By silvery moonbeams shyly kist:
Her voice is clear and low and trist
And sweeter far than rhyme.
o first love, o last love,
Beside the summer sea,
AS clasps the wave the star above,
So cEngs my heart to thee.
